Question Period

The Conservatives condemn the Liberal government's economic policies, citing 86,000 job losses and Canada's fastest-shrinking G7 economy. They accuse the Prime Minister of offering a $1-trillion investment to the U.S. without ending auto tariffs or softwood lumber tariffs, thus betraying Canadian workers and driving deficits and inflation.

The Liberals emphasize strengthening US-Canada trade relations, highlighting the best deal in the world for sectors like auto, steel, and aluminum. They plan a discipline budget on November 4th, promising generational investments to make Canada the strongest economy in the G7 and cutting taxes. They also defend the Charter of Rights and address hate crimes.

The Bloc criticizes the Prime Minister's empty-handed U.S. trip, calling it a failure on trade. They demand withdrawal of the Bill 21 legal challenge and condemn the Justice Minister's offensive analogy on the notwithstanding clause.

The Green Party focuses on Canadian sovereignty in the Northwest Passage, urging recognition of Inuit ownership to protect it.
